Ingredients
Pork Chops
- 4 pork chops bone-in, about 1 inch thick
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Creamy Ranch Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup 1 can
- 1 ounce Ranch dressing mix 1 packet
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ cup chicken broth low sodium
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sour cream
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned pork chops. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they're nicely browned. Then, remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion, cooking until it's soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, just until fragrant.
- Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, ranch dressing mix, and mustard powder. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir the sauce and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the sour cream until well incorporated.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, immersing them in the sauce. Cook for a few more minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked and the sauce is creamy and heated through.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.

Notes
- Use Thick-Cut Pork Chops: For the best results, opt for pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. They stay juicier and absorb the sauce better.
- Rest the Meat: Allow your pork chops to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This helps the juices redistribute, making each chop even more tender and flavorful.
- Customize the Sauce: Feel free to adjust the ranch seasoning to suit your taste. Add more for a stronger flavor or less for a subtler touch.
- Check the Pork's Temperature: For perfectly cooked pork, use a meat thermometer. The ideal internal temperature should be 145°F (63°C).
- Reheat Gently: When reheating leftovers, do it slowly over low heat to keep the pork chops tender and the sauce creamy.
